I have Dinah, on my dog who passed away at age 12. It extended his life just a few months and although he didn't seem as ill as people I've known on chemo, he was listless and I don't think I would ever do it again. I have another dog who is 12 now and seems pretty healthy although he's large (an Alaskan Malamute) and I worry constantly. If he becomes ill, (and already has arthritis) I would just use prednisone to keep his appetite up an give him energy, it works really well. The key is quality I think, but saying good'bye to a loyal friend will be heart-breaking. I'm so glad your dog is doing better, just enjoy each day with him.
take care, judy
